Word & Law's medical lawyers are your trusted partners in the field of medical law!

Medical disputes hold a special place in the modern legal system in light of their complexity and all the different aspects of such disputes to be accounted for. Competent resolution of cases like these requires a combination of profound knowledge of the law and an understanding of medical practice to go with it. Word & Law's lawyers specialize in medical law, representing professional services for patients and medical organizations alike.

Why speaking to a medical lawyer will be worthwhile for you

When it comes to medical disputes, there is a broad spectrum of questions that arise: from medical malpractice to patent infringements. Seeing a medical lawyer will provide you the means to:

  • evaluate the quality of a form of medical assistance that was provided to you: lawyers will analyze your medical documents, the conclusions of experts and professionals, as well as arranging other evidence to determine where or not there has been a case of medical malpractice;
  • defend your rights in the event of mistreatment: in the case you were refused medical treatment or improperly provided a medical treatment, our professionals will help stand up for your rights in court and higher up courts;
  • achieve compensation for your losses: we will help you fight for financial compensation for injury, emotional distress, and expenses you’ve had to bear;
  • develop an effective legal strategy: our lawyers will ensure possible actions are avoided in choosing the tactics for conducting the case, which will raise the likelihood that the dispute is resolved successfully.

When is a medical lawyer necessary?

It’s advisable to consult a medical lawyer in the following cases:

  • medical malpractice: if mistakes committed by medical personnel have led to harm to your health.
  • Refusal of treatment: when you've been refused necessary medical assistance, despite that there were grounds and a necessity for it.
  • Service failure: this includes cases of failure in surgeries, dental procedures, obstetric operations, and other medical services.
  • A failure in a treatment: if the expected result of therapy is not achieved or the patient's condition has grown worse following a medical operation.

It’s especially common that patients come to us with issues revolving around dentistry, plastic surgery, and cosmetology.

We quite commonly encounter situations in our practice where we learn right after first meeting a medical organization that the legal affairs of a successful business, experienced in its field, is with no exaggeration, are in complete turmoil.

Here's the latest example

A manager of a clinic gets in touch with us. There’s a lawyer working on their staff that they found “through acquaintances” and was recommended as a competent professional with experience working in the medical field. When we met up, one of the things we were told was that nobody was trying to settle with difficult and unhappy clients, they forget to respond to complaints, and nobody was keeping track of ongoing court cases. After diving a bit deeper into their situation, it was revealed that the clinic was actually steeped in court proceedings and had a whole cupboard of lost cases with millions of lawsuits from patients.

An important point is that a clinic doing its main job well – treating people – is not the only thing that it should know and be able to do. There are specialists and entire departments involved in the operations of any organization who do not directly bring in money through their work the way a sales department or doctors do. Neither accountants nor lawyers make you money. But it is these specialists whose job it is to protect your business from financial losses and minimize your risk. Qualified legal support is just as important in a medical organization's operations as qualified medical staff members are.

The work of a qualified medical lawyer will inevitably lead to a reduction in court disputes, patient complaint inspections, and, of course, the quantity of fines imposed at such inspections. An important job for a lawyer is to regulate disputes with patients before going to court in such a way that in the worst case, the person doesn't go to court or the supervisory agencies and in the best-case scenario, he or she remains the clinic's client and continues coming in for more medical services.

Competent lawyers can also help recognize and foil consumer extremism, which has been becoming increasingly common. Upon arriving at the clinic, patients like these know ahead of time what kinds of things to watch out for and which violations to record to later file complaints and receive compensation or free treatment.

Don't wait for your practice to become another such target. Get in touch with Word & Law and get qualified legal assistance today!
